Review summary

A little disappointed this time because it just came out of dry dock. The ship was dirty. I would have loved to had a better table with a view instead of a hidden booth. We still had a good time and the service at the bars were great!

Service and Staff

The waiters were hustling, however, we seemed to be in a hidden booth! We had to ask for tea daily (no sugar on table), we had ask for bread occasionally and coffee come twenty minutes after ordering dessert.

Ship Quality

1 out of 5
The ship just came out of dry dock and was filthy! hot tub are was dirty, lounge chairs were dirty and I even got grease on a new bathing suit from one of the chairs.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
The comfort of bed and pillows was fine, we just needed it stocked with robes, and had to ask for an ice bucket and soap.

Ship tip

We have been on this ship for the 5th time, it is usually more organized and cleaner that this past trip. The bar service is outstanding! Coming out of dry dock led us to have an unpleasant perception of the ship.

Nothing to do in town, either stay on ship or go on excursion . We did the Catalina Island excursion. It was great. The boys on the island were charging people for the lawn chairs even though they were free!

Willemstad, Curacao

Beautiful town, didn't care for the timeline 1pm - 11 pm.

Oranjestad, Aruba

5 out of 5
Loved Aruba, we took a Kukoo Kunuku excursion and it was a blast! Needed more time at the beach!

Disembarkation
